Gameplay and/or story wise

Any immersive sim.

You think a game like Dishonored plays like Deus Ex?

Unreal, if you want similar graphics and music.

Peripeteia

>>715927047 (OP)
theres only one deus ex

>>715927047 (OP)
Immersive sims?
System Shock 2 if you want to experience Deus Ex with all the talking to people removed and a lot more combat.
Arx Fatalis if you want Deus Ex but Fantasy.

>>715927047 (OP)
Alpha Protocol or MGS, story wise.

>>715927886
What counts as insim these days?

For a cyberpunk techno thriller that raises legitimately interesting points about politics and philosophy, Metal Gear and Deus Ex are kindred spirits

If you're asking that, you're already further gone than most. Immersive sim is more about design philosophy than a checklist-multiple paths, systems-driven gameplay, player agency over handholding. Think of it like this: if you can stack crates to reach a vent, sneak past a guard, or hack a camera instead of just shooting, you're in imsim territory. Stuff like Deus Ex, Thief, System Shock 2, Prey (2017), and to a muddier extent, Dishonored (though it leans too hard on style over simulation for purists). These days though, people slap the label on anything with choices and a first-person POV, so mileage may vary.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Downtown LA feels like Hell's Kitchen.

is gloomwood any good?

>>715927047 (OP)
I have tried replaying Deus Ex repeatedly over the years. It's just too long and I get bored by Hong Kong.

zoomer
takes like 5 hours to get to HK

What about HR and MD?

Thief, in the sense that my general impression was

Some games coming out in the future, but nothing for now aside from Peripeteia, Brigand Oaxaca, Cruelty Squad, Fortune's Run and Corpus Edax.

Came to post this. Different gameplay wise but the vibe is very similar.

I've never bought the claim that Thief is an immersive sim.

>>715934715
Why not?

>>715927710
>Any immersive sim
Get in.

>>715928378
If the guns are broken, and you have to do half-assed things in lieu of shooting to proceed, it's an immersive sim.

Prey (2017) is the closest I got to feeling like the original Deus Ex, especially in the beginning when you're vulnerable and need to improvise.

They were made by a different team and have a different design philosophy. Incidentally, one of the directors of Dishonored was the Deus Ex designer. I don't think Dishonored feels like Deus Ex, but it has shadows of Deus Ex here and there in its design.

System Shock doesn't feel anything like Deus Ex, likewise Thief doesn't feel anything like Deus Ex, and vice versa Thief doesn't feel like System Shock despite being on the same engine. If we're referring to the kind of design philosophy, that doesn't equate to these being the same games. So it also equally moronic when people say Prey 2017 is like Deus Ex. They're all very distant games and the supposed immersive sim philosophy doesn't change that. This is why i find it frustrating when you ask for games like Thief and then people give you non stealth games. People forget about game direction far too often.

try brigand oxaca

there is no one thing that defines it but it's a design philosophy and some things are shared usually like being able to return to previous areas "seamlessly" with persistence but thief doesn't have that it's level by level.
Deus ex is narratively driven with actions affecting states of later levels, well system shock doesn't have that it's narratively static

>>715931117
System Shock 1 is a dungeon crawler

>>715927047 (OP)
Perfect Dark felt like it at times.
